OK BOX – the concept
The self storage consists of making available to companies and individuals secure storage spaces, of variable sizes, for short or long periods, so that they can store, archive, store their goods.
What is the difference between furniture storage and Ok Box ?
The concept of self storage is more flexible than that of the furniture repository. Here are the main differences:
- The goods are stored in rooms (called boxes) closed with a padlock which only the customer has the key.
- The customer stores his own stuff The customer can access it whenever he wants, without warning or paying additional fees.
- We pay only the days used and not the whole month.
- The formalities of renting and returning the box are very simple and fast.
Who is OK BOX for ?
To everybody ! Individuals or professionals. For example :
- For people moving or going abroad. For families who want to keep property, furniture and have no cellar or attic.
- For students who need to store their belongings the time of the holidays.
